Bake Bread Like A Pro: A Country Girl's Guide

by Laura Childs

Have you tried to make bread before only to have it come out dry, lumpy or flat? When I first moved to the country I couldn't make a decent loaf of bread either - until I learned the secrets from one of the best baker's in the area.

I'll agree that the best breads are made from excellent recipes but if you don't know the basics behind great baking and working with dough - not even the best recipes will help.

This book contains a short tutorial, a section on substitutions, country cook secrets and over 20 recipes that your entire family will enjoy. From large batch white bread to home made pita breads you'll find yourself returning to this favorite for many years.

Also includes banana bread and the best cinnamon buns for a country mile!
